A quickie for you here. Emerging information suggests that the new Super Mario Bros game for Nintendo's DS will be more than a money-spinning cash-in, with various source claiming the Italian plumbers will have access to around 80 levels of cooperative gaming glory.
As you'll be aware, New Super Mario Bors, as the game is still officially titled by Nintendo, promises to be a true flagship platformer, offering a beautiful DS-to-DS spin on a formula that has defined a genre for two decades.
Although this falls short of the glory that was the 96 levels of Super Nintendo Super Mario World, the stage is without doubt set for a return to form that has fans awash with love-drops at the prospect of what spiritually is the successor to the 16-Bit monument of gameplay.
In related news, various sources state that Bowser Jnr. is a mini-boss, the game is littered with Warp Zones, there are various Ghost Houses and the Hammer Bros are frequent enemies on map screens.
Dear readers, please believe us when we say that we're happier than you can possibly imagine about this latest expansion of both the DS as the best games platform ever and Super Mario Bros, a series that transcends the English language. Expect full coverage of the game, including pictures of various SPOnG staff in compromising positions with New Super Mario Bros, in the coming weeks. You should probably be aware that we can muster a better looking, more female staff roster than any other games site, so if we actually remember to do it, it'll be well worth a peek.

Wow. Nice. Those shots have changed my mind on this game.
It looks... traditional, cool, non-Mario 64.

Wow, NOW I'm excited. I'm pretty low on cash right now, so I'll have to leave Metroid Prime Hunters and Tetris DS for some other time; I'm definitely buying this one on launch day.

Yeah, 80 levels is alright. I was hoping more for the suits you got in Mario 3 - that was the best.

"96 levels of Super Nintendo Super Mario World"
Really? Someone at Spong obviously doesn't play classic games.
Think you'll find it's 96 exits and 72 levels
